Wrap this ....

Thanks for the morning laugh!

My family REFUSES to wrap anything in my presence because I make sure they aren't wasting paper or tape and the creases are proper.

Cute story! I am a wrapper and not a fancy gift bag person unless it just won't fit in a box or didn't come with a box and I don't have one. (I do save boxes from previous years though ).

Hubby, who has almost nothing to wrap, goes to extremes at times. I have seen him actually try to match the pattern on the paper. Since the amount of gifts he is responsible for wrapping are usually less than can be counted on one hand that is the reason. I have way too many to wrap to be crazy like that, but I am like Catnapper in that I am a stickler about nice creases and folds.

I was always the "wrapper" for my brothers and Dad particularly - and more than once I'd commence wrapping a pile of gifts, and a couple minutes later, the brother would yell "Wait, close your eyes!" dash in, and grab my gift out of the pile. You could tell which gifts were for me - those were the ones with the - shall we say less than neat - wrapping job.

LOL! I love the conversation at the end!

I do love wrapping presents though, I wrap all the presents for my dad because he truly is awful at it

Hee Hee Who wrote that article? Sounds like a Dave Berry story.

I don't know who wrote it, but I received it in my e-mail right after I had finished wrapping all my gifts and laughed out loud too. Phred, you don't remember Herb?

Great story Redhedd~

I thought the Three Wisemen were named, Ike and Mike and Bill~

My Mother taught me how to wrap a gift. As a teen, she worked at a Men's Clothing Store and everyone there just loved her personality, as well as how she could gift wrap~

My husband, and my Son, can't seem to get the Hang of it~
